Third Reporting Period: 01 April 2016 - 31 March 2017

Aimed at training the new generation of scientists in the field of high-resolution solar Physics, these schools and workshops are being achieved by means of a dedicated program that foresees:

The organization of summer/winter schools for PhD students and novel post-doc researchers on topics related to the development of new instrumentation for solar observations, diagnostic tools, hot solar research topics and fields of mutual interest for solar and stellar physicists.

The organization of thematic workshops matched with the training schools (i.e. immediately after or in splinter sessions).

Meetings on Solar Physics: To put in contact different solar physics communities and researchers involved in other fields, aimed at achieving the following goals:

Periodic meetings on topics related to solar physics and solar – stellar connections, where the participants can show the results of their research and profit from discussion time slots devoted to exchange of experience and competences.

The fostering of collaborations aimed at improving the interaction between theoreticians, experts in numerical simulations and observers.

The sharing of pipelines and software for solar data reduction and analysis.

The consolidation of high-resolution MHD simulations to analyze the performance of advanced instrumentation for high-resolution solar observations.

Promotion of seismological studies as a way to understand solar/ stellar interiors

These meetings are being also a very appropriate environment for the dissemination of knowledge.
